I'll keep this short
I was at the gym 2 days ago, and I was alone in the weight room, when I heard this small voice whimpering. I look over at the lat-stack and there's a kid with the tip of his fingers stuck between two of the lower plates (don't ask how)
I wasn't thinking and I just grabbed the cable above the stack, gave it a quick wrap around my forearm and yanked the stack off the kids finger.
I think "he's" OK.
But ME..............
yesterday I had a good sized rasberry - rope burn type contusion on inside of my forearm (palm facing up). It hurt pretty good, but nothin out of the ordinary.
I wake up today and my forarm is swollen (it appears with fluid) from about an inch from my elbow up to my swollen wrist. It you looked at me you wouldn't notice it - it's not a balloon. but it looks and responds to a finger-push like really swollen ankles.
I have full use of my lower arm, no strangth loss, and the only soreness is the "pressure" from the swelling.
Also - it's warm and pink.
I've iced it - doesn't do much - (feels nice) - but that's it
Anyone ever heard of ANYTHING like this?
